Joquan, many a thread in Hilbert's Hotel has been destroyed by discussions of theism. It may be a theme of this board, but not of this thread.

Redeemer, I agree with your beliefs.
Michael, this whole board is for "discussing infinity". Theism means the belief that there is one God. Theism is correct, atheism is not. So really, we have the right to talk about whatever we wish here. Look at the name of this specific topic. Does it say "Topic about theism, but not about atheism"? Does it say "please interrupt the current discussion with remarks about your religion"? No? Well then, problem solved!

I have beliefs, but I won't force them upon others. This topic is simply about the topic of immortality, and it's gone off track. Back to what we were originally talking about... And here's another question: Would a (immortal) partner make eternity more fun or less? Depending upon the person, he/she/it might just get on your nerves.

I think an immortal advesary would BE my eternal partner.
I find it hard to imagine being able to agree with everything someone is about for that long,
but I find it easily forsee-able to have an eternal argument/dis-agreement with someone...
But that may be just me...

it's still the same as dying. your personality also consists of your memories. the person you were will be gone.
what's the point? it's as pointless as reincarnation if you don't remember your previous life. Except remembering is very much a choice if you want it to be. It's a bit different from dying. I'd say I definitely would prefer immortality over just dying or reincarnation.
